This is the original weblog for Shayne McClendon, erotica author and good girl. I am not afraid to talk about sex. I am not intimidated by my own sexuality or anyone else's. Push beyond your comfort zone. Find out what makes you tick - what makes your partner tick - and don't shy away from it. Be intimate, be dirty, be real...but ALWAYS practice safe sex and self-respect.

Who Is Shayne M?

Darlings, I get so many questions about me personally. I'm
flattered that you care! I've tried to answer some of the most common
questions here and I've added a photo of myself - in color, as requested.

I am an erotica author, poet, and blogger. I've always been very good at pretty
much anything I take on...now, I'm even better at being just a little
bad. I currently have four
full-length novels completed, eight novella and short story collections, and
more than thirty "one-off" stories.

I write fast. My first
self-published title "The Barter System" was a completed draft in six
days. I write well, a fact I wasn't certain of until my work ended
up in my follower's hands and they couldn't stop making me feel good. My
Facebook fan page has given me the confidence to truly pursue every dream I've
ever had for myself as an author.

I write reality, for the most part. I
know paranormal is viral right now. I've
dabbled in it but it isn't my preference. You'll see my attempt at
paranormal erotica when I upload my "Doorways" quintet...four
sets of two stories each that deal with the supernatural. A male
character can't just be "ARMY" - he has to be Elite Special
Forces. Again, I've
dabbled. My novella collection "The Corps" is my
version.

Mostly
though, I like common characters.

My work is what could happen to you. Most
of my characters aren't perfect but I'm not sorry when they are because I have
deaf characters, curvy characters, and characters missing limbs. I like to mix it up.

Though I was born on a military base in California, I consider myself a Texan
based on the years I spent there, my accent, family roots, and the way I
cook. I'm currently a wife
who doesn't hesitate to tell my husband he's being an ass (complete with visual
aids of his stupidity). He
does the chores/errands I hate. In
return, I cook him 5 pounds of food and field 90% of teen-related issues.

I'm a mom who wants to protect my kids but refuses to candy-coat reality. My three teenagers are what I'm most
proud of in my life. I
won't send them out after high school believing stupid shit like, "you
can't get pregnant if it's your first time" or "I haven't had too
much alcohol to drive" or "he treats me like crap but inside he
really loves me". Yeah,
not so much. My kids know
what life is and it isn't going to bury them like so many other kids out there.

I'm a friend when you need one but I won't lie to make you feel better if
you're about to make a mistake. I
will tell you those jeans make your ass look fat. I won't pretend to like the same crap
you like - we have enough things to bond over.

I have strong opinions and your hurt feelings need to be examined by YOU. I am not responsible for you being
unable to accept me for who I am. I
happen to like who I am.

I'm overweight at present but I won't kill myself over it because you never
know...Renaissance could come back! In
the meantime, I work 20 hours a day on a computer in a little office and only
get up to pee so when I can work a fitness regimen in, I'll get RIGHT on that.

I smoke because I'm addicted, not to annoy you. When my mental state is ready for me
to quit, I'll do so. I like
comfort over style because I grew up with brothers and never got along with
most females. Guys have it
so damn easy.

I love to cook, hate to clean, love animals, hate hypocrites and bad grammar,
get too wrapped up in my writing (and reading) sometimes, tend to be a
workaholic, and would give you the shirt off my back if you REALLY needed it
(you have to be part of your own rescue).

All men and women are created equal - there are no qualifiers after that statement
- nothing but a damn period.

I am tolerant of other's beliefs - you want to go to church every day, if it
fits in your schedule, good for you. You
knock on my door, we can talk and I'll respect your stand without being
rude. Maybe I'll invite you
in for coffee if the dogs aren't being too crazy.

I believe every human being has the right to choose what is right or wrong for
their body (inside and out). From
alternative medicine to tattoos to unplanned pregnancy. I have enough issues worrying about MY
body - I don't have time to make decisions for yours, too.

I don't have the right to tell you who you're in love with. Love crosses all boundaries, social
castes, races, genders, and belief systems. If you are lucky enough to find
soul-deep love, I hope youfightfor it.

I do not write romance OR porn...I write erotica. Please understand the difference in
the three genres before you read my work and become offended at my explicit sex
scenes and lack of "purple prose".

That's
about it. You know you can submit questions to me here,my Tumblr blog,
my Facebookpageorprofile, or
just send me an email at whatshaynewants@live.com. I love to hear from
you.
